We Can Haz Burglars or The Further Adventures of Number One Son - Fit the Fourth

[jacey]

Just got an email from N1S in Brooklyn. Sometime in the early hours of the morning someone let themselves into their shared  flat while they were all sleeping and stole two wallets a camera and a laptop. The laptop unfortunately belonged to N1S. Though it was 2.5 years old it was a top of the range Dell with a 17" screen and all the extra perks to handle large graphics files for architecture projects.

This coming just after the brilliant news that he's been awarded the Rome Scholarship in Landscape Architecture at the British School at Rome for 2008 - 2009 for which he will, of course need a laptop. Well, let's face it, you need a laptop for just about anything academic these days.

Insurance? What is this foreign word insurance of which you speak?

At least the files were backed up!

Oh, that is rubbish. Insurance- well it's great if you can afford it. Maybe there are equipment or book grants he can apply for, student discounts, sponsorship of some local company who wants to help a local lad made good? Otherwise Dell always seem to have offers.
Sorry. But at least they weren't hurt or anything.
